Relativistic Alfvén turbulence at kinetic scales
Cristian Vega, Stanislav Boldyrev, Vadim Roytershteyn
In a strongly magnetized, magnetically dominated relativistic plasma, Alfvénic turbulence can extend to scales much smaller than the particle inertial scales. It leads to an energy…
Effective Viscosity, Resistivity, and Reynolds Number in Weakly Collisional Plasma Turbulence
Yan Yang, William H. Matthaeus, Sean Oughton +6
We examine dissipation and energy conversion in weakly collisional plasma turbulence, employing in situ observations from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission and kinetic Pa…
Electron-Scale Current Sheets and Energy Dissipation in 3D Kinetic-Scale Plasma Turbulence with Low Electron Beta
Cristian Vega, Vadim Roytershteyn, Gian Luca Delzanno +1
3D kinetic-scale turbulence is studied numerically in the regime where electrons are strongly magnetized (the ratio of plasma species pressure to magnetic pressure is for…
Spatial intermittency of particle distribution in relativistic plasma turbulence
Cristian Vega, Stanislav Boldyrev, Vadim Roytershteyn
Relativistic magnetically dominated turbulence is an efficient engine for particle acceleration in a collisionless plasma. Ultrarelativistic particles accelerated by interactions w…
Scaling of electron heating by magnetization during reconnection and applications to dipolarization fronts and super-hot solar flares
M. Hasan Barbhuiya, Paul. A. Cassak, Michael. A. Shay +5
Electron ring velocity space distributions have previously been seen in numerical simulations of magnetic reconnection exhausts and have been suggested to be caused by the magnetiz…
Turbulence in the outer heliosphere
Federico Fraternale, Laxman Adhikari, Horst Fichtner +9
The solar wind (SW) and local interstellar medium (LISM) are turbulent media. Their interaction is governed by complex physical processes and creates heliospheric regions with sign…
